UKO SNAP

Beyond the global standard,
towards perfection.

Technology that exceeds global safety standards, and a belief in perfection.
SL OBJECTS officially introduces UKO SNAP to the market.

PROOF & SAFETY

An insistence on safety—
beyond global standards, to UKO’s own

Infant snaps must prevent even the risk of a child swallowing them.

UKO SNAP raises the tensile strength holding snap to fabric to an unrivaled 110N.
Surpassing Korea (50N), Japan (70N), and Europe (90N), we set a new bar for the world’s safest snap.

110N for child safety means Zero‑Defect in adult apparel too.

110N holds about 11 kg pulled straight down—snaps stay put through repeated washing and open-close cycles. Having cleared the most rigorous babywear standards, UKO SNAP delivers the same fastening quality across outdoor, casual, workwear, and every adult category.

CERTIFICATIONS

Quality verified by third parties

From hazardous-substance safety to quality management and ethical production, we manufacture on standards confirmed by international certification.

    The international label for textiles tested for harmful substances. Every component—from yarn to buttons and accessories—is screened against more than 1,000 chemicals, with stricter limits where skin contact is intensive.

  • Global Recycled Standard

    Textile Exchange’s standard for tracing recycled content. A third party verifies recycled input and chain of custody, plus social, environmental, and chemical controls in processing.

  • ISO 9001:2015

    The international standard for quality management systems. Third-party audit confirms consistent processes and continual improvement so specified requirements are met, time after time.

  • amfori BSCI

    A social-compliance audit of labour and human-rights risk in the supply chain. On-site assessment covers 13 performance areas, including fair pay, working hours, occupational safety, and bans on discrimination and child labour.

  • SMETA

    Sedex’s ethical-trade audit methodology. Sites are assessed against the ETI Base Code, ILO conventions, and local law—labour standards and health & safety, and in a 4-pillar audit, environment and business ethics.

  • Higg Index

    The apparel industry’s framework for measuring environmental and social performance. Facility modules score energy and emissions, water, wastewater, waste, and chemical management on a shared scale.
